I don't have Cad. Is there other programs you can open it with?

That's the one the wife uses to yell at me when she's mad at me, LOL!
Sent you a few more pic's and I'll try and get a good shot of the vanes.

Here is a drawing of one of the 2397 vanes. There are five radially spaced vanes and two half vanes that are stapled to the sides. The full vanes are each doweled with two 3/8" dowels into both the top and bottom that eventually work loose. I construct mine differently, but I have the benefit of a CNC router.

All dimensions are in inches. Both ends are symmetrical.

Hi Ron, Hi Widget,

Widget won the race..

I measured the vanes...and can confirmate the Inches (when do you Yanks learn the metric system... )

PS: when lookin for the drawing on the original 2397 data sheet, I found a little mistake with the measurements.... the horn mouth section was measured with 2 x 63,5mm, but thats the size of the mounting plate for the 2328.

Also I can tell you JBL'ers that the 2328 cast was not idealy designed in cause of the negative horn opening section, where reflections of the high frequencies can show some distortions. But.....anyway it sounds great.

Thanks Widget& HP,
Hey I don't use a rule or tape, I use my foot and thumb. Every once in a while I use a cubit, no one uses those anymore! And now that the US is mad at France, there's just no way we are going metric!
